Should we change the subname to /r/senna today?

What makes you think this content is any better than the dozens of Senna reposts?
In fact. Anti-circlejerk circlejerks are much worse because at least with a circlejerk someone might see something new that they might think is cool or interesting or inspiring.
Wait ... Am I taking part in anti-anti-circlejerk circlejerk? I don't know. It's hard to keep track. But at least I'm not annoying other people with it.
In an ideal world nobody would ever agree with anyone else about anything and we could all sit around arguing about which driver was the best and all of us can post too much content about our selected driver (I'm calling dibs on Jim Clark by the way)
However, and I say however purely because I've seen way too many people use the word "but" this week and I thought this sub could do with some new vocabulary.
However, sometimes people agree with each other, and gosh darn it some people agree Senna was alright at driving and some of those agree it was a tragedy that he died and a subsection of that demographic want to be part of a group that can associate with that.
Just another inconvenient truth about humanity.

I think r/formula1 can all agree Sebastian Vettel is the best

You're trying to piss me off by posting deliberately circlejerk-esque comments.
It's not a bad tactic. It might just work.
But, luckily for you I'm not going to create a new thread to cry about it. Or maybe I should, I have been lonely since my girlfriend left.
She found me and a group of friends masturbating together. What do you call that?

If this is subtly pointing out that it's ridiculous the amount of Senna posts that get posted around this time, I fully agree.
As great as the man was, he was playing a dangerous sport and died. We all respect him and love him, there's a documentary about him, and much more.
Don't need to spam the reddit of the entire sport with it; I think this may be a bit ridiculous and even disrespectful.

You can't.

Just believe m8, Senna's spirit will show us the way.

I love Senna, but i'm a bit over the content. Its the same stuff every year on the anniversary and its not like we don't hear about him for the rest of the year. There are no new stories to run. Its all been told.
I used to like Senna before F1 and motorsport forums got so accessible. The circlejerk here is unbelievable and kind of makes me want to hear nothing about Senna anymore. Why does only Senna get this much attention on his deathdate and also the entire year around? Hardly hear anything about Jim Clark, Ascari or Fangio who were just as good if not better.
Every day you indeed see the same lap posted from Jerez, the same interview from Prost about Senna, same picture of the MP4/4 or 4/5, Donnington opening lap etc. Right now there's like 20/26 posts on the front page of r/formula1 that are related to Senna.

Stuff like that. Seriously what's the point?
I dunno dude, you're sounding a lot like a prost fan right here.
Go say 20 hail Hondas and rewatch Senna holding Mansell up at Monaco 5 times.
